Remote Control Camera

Hello,

I am a new member on this forum.
Recently I achieved my professional RPAS license.
Currently I built a hexacopter (tarrot Ironman frame) with own selected components.
But I still don’t have a camera/gimbal setup.
As I do like to start with a small budget I don’t like to spend a lot of money for GH4 camera for example. I did some research and do like to use the Canon Powershot SX620 compact camera (25x optical zoom) combined with a universal 3axis gimbal. BGC Alex Moss Controller. The only point I can get find with lots of efforts is how to control the camera functions... start/stop video, zoom in/out, capture pictures. How does this occurs by professional drones? Does a special cable with control unit exists for this..?
Hope somebody can help me in this matter.
Thanks

Usually you have a radio with aux channels, so you would use a knob for pan and a switch to trigger the shutter etc.
